Bees

Hello reader,




Is not the Buzz Lidire, but buzzes in the wey came the Bees.











The Europhean bees was bring to Australia in 1822. No harm in a one sting of 0.1 mg whit venom, however if it be 500 you will die. Be cool, nothing of short was ever registered. Unless you make part of the 3 percent of the population who are allergic to a sting bee, then just one sting can kill you depending in how you are allergic.




We only think in bees been yellow and black normally, the honey bees, but there is other colors and types. Other type of bee are encountered in Australia, the carpenter bee.




The Metallic green carpenter bee (Xylocopa aeratus) and the Peacock carpenter bee (Xylocopa bombylans) are solitary bees, what means they don’t live in colonies, instead they live alone. The name carpenter came from the fact that they normally build a nest in soft wood.




The carpenter bees are more inoffensive than the Europhean bees, even having a sting they are not aggressive, but have a size of 28mm compared to the normal honey bees who have a 17 mm size can be more scary. What can give you a fright to see such a huge bee, this in case you are lucky in see one of those, they are not a common insect to see.




Carpenter bees live normally in holes they build in wood. They produce honey, but is different from the one we are used to, seens it have the consistency of a peanut butter. They use this honey to mix with pollen and create the food to leave with the eggs, who are sealed with it to bee safe and when it hatch already have a first meal. The female guard the entrance of the nest until the eggs hatch.




The males don’t have a sting and normally, between carpenter bees, they have large eyes. In the gender Xylocopa bombylans males are characterized by having white face marks.

Wolf spider

Hello reader,



Members of the family Licosidae are spread in the world, been commonly named Wolf spider. With so vast diversity of colors and sizes the best way to recognized one is by their big eyes of the front with four smalls above and more two separate in the top.









There have a good sight thanks to those big eyes, making them a good hunter. They don’t spin a web, and like the huntsman they go after their food. It don’t go after only bugs, incredibly this spider can hunt frogs and toads, but not only that, this spider even dive in the water and catch small fish.



It is more common they be walkers,but some create a burrow that can have or not a door. They really in their vision to do a hunting, but they also use the sensitive legs to know from where is coming a moviment when they stay in the burrow. When they left the burrow at night to hunt if it has a door this stay opened until the spider returns.



Another easy way of recognise them is if you see one carrying a sac, more specifically a female carries a circular sac attached on her spinnerets. When the eggs eclode the spiderlings stay in her back until the change of skin then they disperse by ballooning or walking. The mother helps breaking the sac to the youngs climb her, is a rare parentcare in the spider’s world, she protect the sac and the youngs in her back with her life.








The wolf spider is not exactly dangerous, but a bite can cause a lot of local pain and if the symptoms persist you need to go to a hospital. Normally the spider don’t inject venom unless be continuous provoked. This is another spider with a mit of necrosis, that don’t happened.

Black House Spiders

Hello Reader,





The spider of today can stay in the same spot until your day of death. The Black house spider is not exactly dangerous, her venom can cause a lot of pain and some minors unwell symptoms, unless you are allergic, then it can kill you. Generally is a sweet spider, and don’t bite unless provoked.






The black house spider normally built her web in places that have something shine to attract insects, thats is way it receives also the name window spiders, the bright of window attract insects what makes a perfect place to construct a home.




The web can have a funnel forme, makyn people thinking is a funnel-web spider, but the web is more messy, and don’t stays in a burrow. The black house spider lives in the same web and will just put more silk in the same, makin some old ones look more gray, unless something force them to move for then the spider will build a new web in a new place.




Differently of the other spiders, when a male make sure the female is receptive they will stay together for some days and mate several times.




The female guard the sacs of eggs until they hatch and disperse. Some will stay in the weeb of the mother during a time, eating small prey that the bigger spider ignore before leaving and starts its own web.

White-tail spiders

Hello Reader,


The spider of today is another with some mystification. The white-tailed spider. A confusion that is made with this spider it is that the venom can make the location of bite necrose, however this is not scientific proof and all the attempts to see this fenom point that don’t happen. The spider who is proof to do this lives in Brazil, normali know as brown spider.

Male L. cylindrata

Female L. cylindrata

L. murina

The venom injects on the bite of the white-tailed spider don’t spread on the body, stay in a range of the bite, causing a local swelling, pain and itchiness. In rare cases cause nausea, vomiting, malaise or headache. You probably will not have a doubt that this spider bite you, once the bite hurts like a bee sting and give an immediate burning sensation. But don’t worry, a good pack of ice can help with the pain, not more than that is required, but the red marck can stay during 5-12 days.



This spider is not aggressive, just wen treaden. In the case could be by accidental since this spider likes to hide in the middle of the folds of clothes, towels and shoes. It don’t create a web, hunting other spiders, she vague around during the night after her pray. She can even help hunting the Redback spider and black house spider that make part of her diet.



The white mark in the adults can be less visible then in the young, who have a easy observable white spot.

Ibises

Hello Reader,


Today anotar bird to talk about. The Ibises.




It is a bird far spread into the world, except in Antarctida, habiting forests, plains and wetlands. But I focusing in two species of ibis, the straw-necked and the australian white ibis.





and




This two species of ibis have the costume of get together in a huge flock on the season of breeding when they coexist. They have a time to normally procreate in the year depending on the region were they are, but have some cases when occur after a big rain in any time of the year. They also can create their nests in a place where other birds like egrets, herons, spoonbills or cormorants, who also build nest near a corp of water.




The most common ibis to see is the australian-white-ibis, because it have adapted well to the live in the city; While the straw-necked ibis don’t have adapted to cities, but have a good relation with farmers sins they eat the plague insects. The australian white ibis is consider in some places a plague in the city due their unique bad smell and they also turn garbage cans and even stole sandwiches of picnic baskets.





The australian white ibis get so long in the city that they even abandon their usual place of procreation to stay in the same place, building their nests in rivers that cross the town.

Trap door spider

Hello Reader,

Hiding in the garden there is the trapdoor spider. But a big group is call that way, even not all having a door in their burrows. 

Far to be dangerous, only painful, this spider you can keep close sins they will help get ridden of pests in you garden. Just don’t bother them to much, they will be aggressive. The specimens brown are commonly mistake with funnel-web spiders, but they have a dor in they borrow and the funnel-web don’t, you also can notice the vast stream of web around the burrow of the funnel-web spider, in comparison with the trapdoor spider just have some wires that are barely notable.

Is difficult to notice their burrow without the door been open. The burrow is the same for life, conforming the spider grows she will scaving the burrow and increasing the size of the door. 

Males will abandon their burrow in humid weather to look for partners, and normali they scape been eaten and mate with a diversity of females before dying.

Females don’t go to far from their burrows. They lay their eggs inside the lair, feeding the youngster during some months until they will leave and make their one burrow.

You belive spider don’t live to much? A lot of spider don’t survive more than one ear, some can even dure 2 ears, even 5, but nothing longueur? Well the Trap door spider can live between five and 20 years. They take ears to mature. But even live so long they are not a good pet, since they are to aggressive for that.

Ordgarius

Hello Reader,

Lacing thru, the Orgarius genus came. The family Araneidae is a massive one, but between the common builders of spiral whell-shaped webs, lay a sub-family Mastophoreae, the bolas spider. Exist tree genus, but only the Ordgarius occur in Australia.

Disguised like a bird droppings, or a plant fungus the bolas spider rest in the day and go hunt in the night. But not like his relatives who build a web. For the children and the males the hunt is sit and wait to a insect pass by to grab it with the frontal legs in the edges of some place. They don’t hunt like the female with a globule because it will dry out to fast. 

In the genus Ordgarius they produce the bolar and begins to whirl rapidly when the heir in the legs detecting an incoming prey. The spiders can produce a pheromone similar to the females of moths who live in the same area, normali been more specífic, but can produce more than one to attract different species of moths. But they also will tray to get ani bug passing close enough, and they can probably hit it with the bolar. Sometimes they will eat the catch prey, but sometimes they just pack and store for later. continuing the hunt. Occur then they can’t get anything in two hours the spider will eat the silk with the bolar, because the pheromone will dry out, needing to produce a new bolar. The pheromone they produce only attract the males of moth.

 The sacs of eggs are different depending on the species, what can help identification. But all have the same characteristic off been huge, 5cm who contain 600 eggs, and more than one. Males hach in full maturity.

They can live for tree ears. 

Named after a throwing weapon made of rope and weights, common in the olds days of South American when the gauchos hunt the cattle, and even in their war was used.

Australian garden orb weaver spider

Hello Reader,

You can look around the world and you will find one of these big famili. This is one you can see every day. Let’s talk about a old friend of everybody, the garden orb weaver spider.

She construct her web in the middle of branches and trees, spots with a open space that insects likely fly. If they got a lot of food they don’t risk training to caught a large prey and is common to release them from the weeb to avoid an unnecessary confrontation and big lost of web.

Web is a recurso that cost a lot for a spider, so much that they normally eat the web when they switch the places of hunt. And some species can even create a 2 meters web.

This is a spider who don’t live long lives. They hach between autumn and winter, getin the maturity in summer, between summer and autumn they lay the eggs and the female normally die in the end of autumn beginning of winter.

During the time of reproduction the male have a chance to escape after the copulation, but in the second female is almost certain he will become diner. Was seen that males who jump off the copulation early have less success in the relative paternity, surviving for another chance. But the males who jump early are related wit the female (siblings) and doing this increase the chance that the second female will be a non-kin, making the copulation longer, guaranteeing their paternity, but also losing their lives.

The Female is 9 times larger than the male. Been small increase their chance of don’t be eating in the firsts steps in the web, since a small size can indicate low nutritional value and can help in don’t be seen until he gets in the right spot to begun the serenade vibrating the web.

They came in several colors and a variation in size. All have a venom, but nothing to threaten to humans, even so you can have pain and other symptoms during 3 hours, but this depends on person to person . People who are more sensitive to bits need to search for medicine help. The biggest threat it is you are walking in the night and stomb in one of their webs, if you have more than 50 years you can have a heart attack when see the spider walkin in your face.

The garden orb weaver spider is normally nocturne, and will hide during the day to avoid predators, but if is in a while without getting food she will risk stay in the web during the day. Some spider will eat the web before go hide, other have a hiding spot near the web so they just leave the web during day and retur during night.

False stonefish

Hello Reader,




Some fish have biofluorescence, and this one is in the list. Greetings to the false stonefish.

The biofluorescence probably is used in communication with other from the same species, and assist in their camouflage, sins the corals also have biofluorescence.

Unlike the real stonefish who have 13 venomous spines the false stonefish have 12, but still have the dangerous venom. And like the stonefish they wait for the prey came to the range of atack. The false stonefish prefers walking to swimming. Sometimes they even get covered with sediment.

Redback

Hello Reader,

Look out for the spider who cames to you house, because this one lick the environment that humans provides. But is a dangerous one to have at home and you probably will not want this spider. The Redback (Latrodectus hasselti).

The redback can be found in a large range in Australia. More common see one passing by in the summer.

Normali is the female you will notice sins she is bigger than the male and have the red marc in the abdomen more distacade than the male. Not all redbacks will have the color red, they can be on the color orange. Onli the female produce web, and the male can be found in the border of the web, training to get some leftovers.

The redback spider have one of the most dangerous venoms to humans, the pain can last for weeks if don’t kill in the middle. But luckily they have small fangs, with macke difficult to give a proper bite in something bigger than them. Normali they will beat their prey in a more soft spot, and to do that sometimes just let the victim struggle wen hitch in the web until lost the strength. They have a control in the amount of venom used in the bite, making them capable of give a dry bite.

Dispait har shorts fangs they still can get some larges food like small mauses, lizards and rarely snakes if them get stuck in her web.

The web look like a mess, but even been a irregular tangle have a strategically position that gives to the spider a good range to capture food.

Painted Button-Quails

Hello Reader,


Normali in the animal kingdom you will see a male doing the call for females and protecting a territory, men while the female take care of the offspring. But note this one. They switches places in the chores. I am talking about the Painted Button-Quails (Turnix varius).

The Painted Button-Quails is endemic of Australia.








The female is the one who will keep a territory and have more than one partner. She calls for the males, lay their eggs (between 3-5), and leave the part of caring for the yongs with the male. The female is bigger than the male, and during the courtship she even offer food to the male.



The male will incubate the eggs during 15 day, and will care for them after hatching more 16 days, when they will be group enough to take care from themselves.



It is a bird that aviators created, but is not recommended if you are a total inicant. They can be see like a control pest population of insects.

Stonefish (Synanceia)

Hello Reader,




I bring a thought fish. He can survive out of the water for 24h, have the most deadly venom and you can esly mistake him with a rock.








The stonefish have spines over they back, it is in thous people steps accidentally. They have a tissue that incover the spine, and when that finc in something and the tissue is pushed down squises the venom aut.




The venom of the stone fish is deadly and each of the 13 spines can delivery it, but luckily if you have a water hoten the 45ºC you can help diminish the venom. The venom of him is destroyed in high temperature, but it can’t be a temperature that hurt the person. But you still needed to go quickly to receive the antivenom.











The ability of stay out of water for 24h is related to the fact this fish just stay put and wait for they victims. Been stil even if the mare start to goin down and they can get stuck in a pond or even stay in a place where the water retreats totally. How normally in less than 24h the mare get bec, the fish can stay in the same place and just wait, food will came together with the water.

Huntsman spiders

Hello Reader,

Hunting dreams, I bring today the Huntsman spider. Her size can scar people, and having that jumping in you is more than terrifying.






Far spread in the world, the family of Sparassidae is well know. And all this family instead of build webs and wait for the food they go after it, hunting. What can make one enter your house just to check if it is not a delicious cocorouth around, or any other insect with the right size to catch.









But even the hunter go attacking their prey, they don’t attack humans for free. This spiders prefer to run instead of confront the atacar. And if the atacant is a hand, they don’t see the human been part of the hand, so it can make them just jump in the direction of the big body training to scape the hand.




It is like another spider misunderstood, the camel spiders (order Solifugae). It was belief they go after humans in the desert. Camel spider, like the huntsman spider, are fast and big what cause the mits about a spider in the desert eating an arm from a person. But all that spider is doing is just get shelter from the sun in the closest shadow, and what is better than a moviment shadow to go after your next meal in the desert?







And both spider don’t have a harmels venom, just a painful bit. The camel spider don’t have venom at all. But the huntsman spider have venom, just is not the type that can do some damage in humans.

Phocoena dioptrica

Hello Reader,


Looking in a list of marine animals from Australia, I found the Spectacled porpoise.









This creature is found in a good part of the Antarctic Circumpolar Current , and there was a register in south Australia of them.

Infortunately, little is know about this specie of Porpoise, because they run from boats. The majority of registers about the species is from cativets ones. In fact the firth report of this species came from a dead body founded in the shore, in 1912.



What can make you wander, how many exist from this creature? No one know. Exist to little data about them to estimate a population.



They have a easy way to distinguish the male from female by the dorsal fin, the male have it in a biggest size. 

Don’t let their faces trick you. They are related with whales and dolphins, but they are porpoises. Even been close related with dolphins and having small size they are described like been little whales with spade-shaped teeth (dolphins have a conical teeth).
